What about the interaction of birds with magnetic fields? Also, I've heard one theory about declining bee populations being potentially linked to increased EMFs from cell phone towers.

The EMF vs. bees thing has been pretty thoroughly debunked. Don't have time to find it but a study that had nothing to do with bees and EMF was misinterpreted by a journalist who wrote a short story which was then picked up and thoroughly distorted by the mainstream press.

ETA: Remembered where I read it.

At least for initial applications, I've been hearing it in terms of short-range stuff. Some sort of transmitter with a range of a few feet for charging devices or powering a lamp. That much shouldn't be of particular consequences to birds.
